| 0:00.0 | What's happened guys? Happy Tuesday! And thank you for joining another special episode |
| 0:13.0 | of your welcome guys that you have seen was off this weekend. But we still got plenty |
| 0:17.4 | to talk about like Connor McGregor and some training videos that came out over the weekend |
| 0:22.1 | plus. I'm going to discuss the future of Francis and Gano and I'm also going to revisit |
| 0:26.9 | Hoss Metshamayev's historic weight miss all that later in the show. But let's begin here. |
| 0:36.3 | Alright guys let's talk a little bit of boxing. A few things happened over the weekend. |
| 0:40.5 | For dramas say, right Floyd Mayweather goes out to do his match in Japan. I keep |
| 0:46.0 | called that rasslin. I mean I keep doing that. These are scripted bouts. But I'm going to tell you |
| 0:51.4 | Floyd's not in on it. I mean Floyd's out there. Floyd's thinking them in. And I say that because |
| 0:57.3 | I might have to amend that statement. Not everything you see over there. Right? The pride |

| 1:25.3 | over him to present like a ceremonial presentation of flowers. Now it's very relevant because |
| 1:32.0 | these flowers aren't from Floyd's opponent. These flowers aren't from the promoter. This is set up |
| 1:38.8 | to be a welcome from the people of Japan. At the last moment the gentleman throws the flowers |
| 1:45.3 | on the ground again like a pro wrestling thing. Now it wasn't a tremendous piece of theater. |
| 1:52.1 | But the organization came out called him a despicable human being. I don't think he was supposed |
| 1:56.3 | to do that. I'm guessing. I don't think he was supposed to do that. I think it's called going |
| 1:59.9 | into business for yourself. It's where you go off script when the cameras are live thinking |
| 2:04.0 | you're going to put yourself over in a way that the writers didn't do. And sometimes it works. |
